Oh look, another corporate fire sale. $450m of 'asset sales' to patch up the debt hole. Wonder which workers are gonna get screwed over next.
Moody's can shove their 'stable outlook' where the sun don't shine. Same people said the same about half the companies that went bust.
Finance lecturer was just saying this morning how Fletcher's been dodgy for years. Moody's 'stable outlook' is just a polite way of saying 'we'll wait and see'.
nah, my cousin worked for one of those divisions they sold off. Gone now. Crap.
Baa3? Isn't that just a fancy way of saying 'we're not bankrupt yet' 😂
my entire street is Fletchers homes. I don't need this stress before my flat white.

Nice try spinning it as a positive. 'Trading update' = we're selling the furniture to pay the bills. Seen it before.
Preach. CEO gets a bonus while workers get the boot. Classic corporate welfare.
As long as my house doesn't fall down cos they cut corners to save cash. Already had a leaky roof, don't need another.
the family silver to pay off the credit card. But sure, 'strategic divestment' — whatever helps you sleep at night.
Reading this on the bus in the rain. Bloody typical, Fletcher building debt and we all pay for it eventually.
Seven business sales in six months… that's not a strategy, that's a fire sale. RIP any workers in those divisions.
